Cesc Fabregas out 3 weeks

In one of the flukiest goals you will ever see, Cesc Fabregas ended up injuring himself and will miss 3 weeks.  Cesc was blocking a clearance attempt from about 35 yards out, pretty regular, and it deflected off his leg and went over the goalie's head into the net.  The sheer force of the kick ended up injuring Fabregas' hamstring.

The Gunners will be hoping that their talismanic captain manages to return within two weeks, meaning he is fit for the crunch showdown with Premier League leaders Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on October 3.

That is the last game before the international break so even if Fabregas fails to face Chelsea he should definitely be ready to return against Birmingham City on October 16.

No need to fear Gunner's fans, it is a pretty minor injury that the coaching staff want to handle delicately so that it doesnt become a serious issue.
